He spent two months last summer in the island republic of Indonesia, liv ing with an Indonesian fam ily under American Field service sponsorship. Admis sion to the program is com petitive.) By WINTHROP McCORMACK Written for United Press International Relations between t h e young Republic of Indonesia and the United States have been improved by a high ; school exchange program in itiated in 1956 by the Ameri j can Field Service (AFS). During a reception at the ! presidential palace at Bogor in 1961, President Sukarno expressed amazement at the fact that U. S. pupils had learned the Indonesian lan guage and lived exclusively with Indonesian families dur ing their stay in the country. Turning to the American ambassador, Sukarno remark ed that the first time he be believed "there can be some Medford Hi School Mon., Tues. & Wed.-Dec. 3, 4, 5 TUES. & WED.

This reaction was encount ered throughout the island re public in the summer of 1962 as people saw American teen agers able to achieve a thorough adjustment to the Indonesian way of life. Thus the program serves to foster not only friendship but an increased understanding of American character which is often distorted, both by propa ganda and an influx of trashy magazines, books and movies from the United States. 16 Students This summer the 16 pupils, representing almost as many states, arrived in Indonesia June 21 and remained until Aug. 27. All spent the first week in Djakarta for the pur pose of orientation and to make courtesy calls on local and national officials, the lat ter being an important facet of Indonesian etiquette. They were slowly accustom ed to a diet of rice, lea, fruits and spiced meats and learned some of the customs - taking a siesta in the afternoon to escape the torrid heat; bathing by sloshing unhealed but lukewarm water on them selves from an oversized ba sin and making their first halting steps in the direction of language proficiency. Then it was on to the dif ferent cities and towns where each spent five weeks with an Indonesian family, learn ing the language and trying to penetrate beneath the sur face in an effort to fathom the national character. We became members of our re spective families, made speeches before groups, went shopping and constantly made the rounds of the town, sip ping hot tea at any and all formal stops. Answer Questions In turn, we answered ques tions about President Kenne dy, segregation, the Ameri can Indian, Hollywood movie stars and other aspects of life in the United States. Early in August the Amer icans assembled in Surabaja and began an 11-day trip through Central Java, staying two days in five different cities with new families and being exposed to the varia tion in Indonesian character from region to region. The final week was spent back in Djakarta. I took along the Yearly Almanac, a picture book of North America and one or two other reference books and all helped out considerably as I was asked one question after another about aspects of our life which one seldom thinks about because they are so obvious. For instance, when they found out there is more to the United States than Texas and New York, they would , want to know how many pco i pie lived in Nebraska or Iowa or Maine, what kinds of trees there arc in Michigan and how many states produce sugar beets. Their idea of , U. S. geography is about as hazy as the average Ameri can' knowledge of Ihc hun dreds of Island which make up Indonesia. Bali, also known as Pulau DcWata or "Island of the Gods," is a delight to the senses and must be reckoned as one of the world's most exotic places. The ancient island just east of Java is free of superficial tourist-trapping devices. The tourist who comes here will find much to stimulate his aesthetic senses in the form of gr-.ceful dances, delicate wood carvings and century old Hindu temples.

Temperatures near nor mal. ranged by your hotel, is con ducted in a bus which breaks down frequently. From this vintage vehicle you get sweep ing views of dense, green fol iaged valleys. Suddenly you round a bend and are spell bound by the blue water of the Bali Sea, the white foam frothing on the shore, with the dimly-silhouetted moun tains of Java rising in the dis tance. Hindu Temple At night, you again ride the bus, and when the road trails to dirt and mud, you walk to an ancient Hindu temple out lined in the moonlight. An almost hypnotic spell falls over the tourist as he watches a Balincse maiden descend the steps of the temple out of the mysterious darkness and bewitch the audience with brusque and weaving move ments. Her eyes flash as the gamclon orchestra clangs out its weird melody. The tourist is told that Bali is the property of the gods, but that it is given in trust to the people. Who can doubt it after being exposed to this tropical land east of Java where mythology and ancient heroes rule the minds of a carefree island people?

Mayor E. N. Broadbcnt of Ely shook his hand and wish ed him well. All of which was more than slightly unusual because George is just 1 1 years old. George's career began in 1957 when United began fly ing to Ely and the boy's moth er took him out to see the Convairs land. Most boys would have enjoyed this, but with George the planes took a stronger hold. He began to insist that his parents take him to Yelland field each day at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the planes landed. This wasn't easy because the Linncll home is five miles from the field, but his parents gave in, think ing the fad soon would wear off. Knives Missing It didn't. Not long after ward the boy's mother Betty, noticed two of her table knives were missing. Then she saw George waving them in the air in motions which she recognized as signals used in parking aircraft. Next time she took the boy to Yelland field he stood out side the fence and mimicked the signalman. He practiced until lie was perfect, then badgered his father, Erling Linncll, into making minia ture copies of regulation ig nal paddles. Day after day the boy stood outside the fence and waved the Convairs to their parking places. The pilots and ground crews noticed him and began paying attention. After devel oping his technique, George was allowed actually to signal parking of the aircraft.
